7 Late Night Cartoons We Want To See Brought Back

Throwbacks/YouTube

Nothing was better than watching late night cartoons on the weekends when we were growing up. The shows were edgy but down right hilarious. Unfortunately, most of the shows didn't last more than a few seasons, but for the ones that did we are still thankful for all the laughs. Wouldn't it be awesome if they decided to bring back some of these shows so that we could enjoy them again?

Here are 7 late night cartoons that we wish they would bring back.

1. The Oblongs

This show was a little outrageous even considering the time slot. It centered around a family of people who were suffering the effects of hazardous waste that has been dumped into their community from the rich people living in the neighboring community "on the hill." It was actually based off of a picture book called Creepy Susie and 13 Other Tragic Tales For Troubled Children.

2. Mission Hill

Mission Hill centered around a group of roommates living in a swanky hip neighborhood in the big city. The show was cancelled a couple of times, but it developed a bit of a cult following because reruns of the few episodes that were actually aired continued to play on late night television. The main character, Andy, is an aspiring cartoonist who can't seem to hold onto either a girlfriend or a job. It was actually a pretty funny show.

3. The Ripping Friends

These quasi-superheros were jacked-up beefcakes who were trying to battle the forces of evil. The four brothers (who looked absolutely nothing like brothers) would attempt to use their super powers to help people, but often times they ended up making things worse. If there were ever superheros that used steroids, it was these guys.

4. Undergrads

This show was both hilarious and wildly offensive. It followed the stories of four friends: the frat-boy, the average Joe, the computer geek, and the soft-spoken ladies man. Nitz, Rocko, Cal and Gimpy all brought their own unique personalities to the table, and you couldn't find a more diverse and strange group of friends. This show lived off of cliche and we loved it.

5. Clone High

You may remember this cartoon as the high school filled with the clones of historical figures. It followed along with Abe Lincoln, JFK, Gandhi, Cleopatra, and Joan of Ark (or rather their clones) as they tried to maneuver their way through high school life in the modern world. I never thought I would see Gandhi portrayed as the horny high school kid LOL.

6. The Tick

The Tick was originally a comic book that was then adapted to become a more adult style cartoon. Though it was shown to kids, the humor aimed more for the older demographic. After graduating from the National Super Institute, The Tick is assigned to protect "The City." He attempts to do so with the help of his sidekick Arthur, who is a former accountant.

7. Quads

Without a doubt the most offensive show on this list, Quads followed a group of people suffering from a variety of physical and mental handicaps as they live through a variety of shenanigans. It was praised by the disabled community for its take on "Don't You Dare Pity Me!" It was created by John Callahan who was left quadriplegic when he was just 21 years old.

Mike Meyers Shared An Update About 'Austin Powers 4' And It's Totally "Groovy, Baby"

When you think of the ultimate man of mystery, who do you think of? James Bond? No of course not. Ethan Hunt? Nope, not even close. The obvious answer is Austin Powers. When Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery came out back in 1997, it felt almost like there was a shift in the world. Suddenly, this ridiculous comedy became all anyone could talk about. It was unexpected, but you know what, it was worth it because the movie was awesome. Making references and jokes to the movie became common place, and you couldn't really ever say the words "one

Remembering NFL in the 90's

NFL in the 90s. The Golden Years of FootballIf you can cast your mind back to what the NFL was like in the 90’s, you can perhaps remember some of the great teams and players of the time, not to mention some of the important milestones as well. Maybe you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowls in four years or when the Denver Broncos won a perfect season in 1998. Of course, there are plenty of memorable player moments too. Like when Dan Marino won the title of the best all-time passing leader. Or when Jerry Rice

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour

The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They

If there was one product that you had to pick that would best represent what it was like to be a preteen in the 90s, I think a lot of us girls would agree that Lip Smackers would be the best choice. These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us.
